Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 267: A Strange Meeting

Zhou Yuan's symmetrical transformation of consciousness made both Chu Xiaolu and Pan Na feel somewhat nervous.

"Nana, I need you to collect and store the consciousness of everyone on both planets. Create more consciousness transfer devices as soon as possible; the consciousness storage capacity should be sufficient, right?"

"Yes, Sage. Consciousness storage is more than sufficient."

"Alright, let's take another inventory of the cascaded Sheng Tian Bo and see how many galaxies are in our Sheng Tian Bo. The Demon Tree needs to be rebuilt, and we need to try to return to the state before the super-body droplet penetrated the six-dimensional space black hole barrier. I need to try sending the hypercube structure information first."

"Understood, Saint."

"I need to find out about Zhou Yuan's past experiences."

“Sage, his information has been uploaded to your ring.”

Zhou Yuan gave instructions to Nana one by one. Nana understood Zhou Yuan's intention: he wanted to restore the original state as much as possible before entering the six-dimensional black hole.

"Chu Xiaolu, Pan Na, where are you two?"

Chu Xiaolu and Pan Na exchanged glances, and then Chu Xiaolu said, "Let's go back." Neither of them could accept Zhou Yuan yet, unless they also underwent a consciousness shift. Zhou Yuan didn't force them.

“Okay. Call the ring if you need help.” Zhou Yuan didn’t want to say more and pointed to the yellow circle.

Pan Na gestured for Chu Xiaolu to go first. Chu Xiaolu thought for a moment, then took Pan Na's hand. "Nana, let's go together. To my home." Chu Xiaolu emphasized the word "home," and gave Zhou Yuan a resentful look. Pan Na nodded, and the two stood together in the yellow circle. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the two disappeared from the flagship command room.

Zhou Yuan sighed, opened his ring, and checked his previous records, as well as the situation in the Eastern and Western Turkic Kingdoms during this period. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuan to have made such thorough arrangements, and couldn't help but admire him. Zhou Yuan had quickly come up with his own plans for the signing of the ceasefire agreement and the global summit the day after tomorrow. After all, he and Zhou Yuan were different, so Zhou Yuan's previous plans were partially modified.

Zhou Yuan was disappointed by the technological backwardness of human civilization on both planets. Nana and the little bee's technological guidance to the Western Kingdom wasn't strong enough, Zhou Yuan thought to himself. Humanity had only just landed on the horizon, and the four astronauts were still hiding inside their spaceship.

Zhou Yuan is now certain that this universe, for him, is a fragment of a four-dimensional virtual machine universe. However, for humanity at this stage, after their consciousness shifts, they might perceive this fragmented virtual universe as the true four-dimensional spacetime. Whether something is virtual or not might have different effects on two different states of consciousness. From this perspective, the five-dimensional humans might not have been deceiving him.

Must humanity remain forever in this comfortable cradle of the universe, endlessly repeating the same cycle? Must humanity forever live in this six-dimensional black hole? But he himself is different from humanity today; he wants to explore the truth, a truth that is not the universe he already knows, but the "ultimate truth."

Now, Zhou Yuan has to wait for Nana to build the magic tree and endow it with quantum consciousness in artificial intelligence. Only then can he launch the hypercube structure information. If the five-dimensional human race does not respond, Zhou Yuan will probably have to build a galactic hypercube until he completes the super-body droplet and breaks through the six-dimensional black hole barrier again.

Zhou Yuan wanted me to take care of Ye Xiaomei, so I decided to grant his wish. With that thought, Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers, and a little bee flew out of his pocket. "Let's go meet that Ye Xiaomei."

"Yes, sage."

The little bee unfolded into a spaceship and soon arrived at the Eastern Tu Kingdom's military headquarters. It was only four in the morning, and the sky was already slightly bright. Because Ye Xiaomei also had a ring on her hand, it was easy to find her location.

The stealth warship arrived above the Eastern Tu Kingdom's frontline military headquarters. The Little Bee spaceship landed in a deserted area filled with armored vehicles. Zhou Yuan exited the Little Bee spaceship and then evaded patrols as he headed towards the mobile medical team's encampment.

At the mobile medical team's base, there were many tents. Zhou Yuan arrived at one tent; he knew Ye Xiaomei was inside. This tent was likely where some of the female nurses stayed and rested. It was still early, and everyone was still sleeping inside. Zhou Yuan was thinking about how to get Ye Xiaomei out; he didn't want to shout her name out loud.

Zhou Yuan touched the ring on his hand and performed some actions. Ye Xiaomei, who was in the tent, suddenly woke up. She felt her left index finger vibrating, and there was a golden ring on her left index finger. Suddenly, the golden ring emitted a beam of light with a pale blue glow, forming a rectangular screen. On the screen, a string of characters appeared one by one, and the combined message was: "I am now outside your tent. Zhou Yuan."

Ye Xiaomei was naturally surprised, but upon seeing Zhou Yuan's signature, she immediately got up, quietly put on her shoes, straightened her pajamas, and then tiptoed to the tent exit. Ye Xiaomei's hands trembled as she pulled open the tent, peeked out, and was immediately overjoyed. Sure enough, Zhou Yuan was not far away, waving at her.

Ye Xiaomei quickly left the tent, ran towards Zhou Yuan, and suddenly threw herself into his arms.

Zhou Yuan gently pushed Ye Xiaomei away and looked at her, "You're Ye Xiaomei, right?"

Ye Xiaomei was puzzled by Zhou Yuan's question. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Just checking."

These words filled Ye Xiaomei with even more suspicion. Remembering Zhou Yuan's severe concussion, could he have lost his memory? But General Chu hadn't said he wasn't in this unit, that he was on a secret mission. Was General Chu lying to her? And what about the gold ring on her finger?

Ye Xiaomei raised her hand to look, and was shocked to find the ring gone. Had the ring's guidance been a hallucination all along?

Ye Xiaomei's mind raced, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Brother, what are you doing here? General Chu said you went on a secret mission."

"You won't understand this in a short time. Just know that the Zhou Yuan standing in front of you is not the Zhou Yuan you know as your older brother."

Ye Xiaomei looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise and took a step back. "Big brother, just say what you want to say. Don't you want me anymore? Do you have another woman?"

"No, your Brother Zhou is no longer in this world."

"Dead? How could that be? You're lying to me!" Ye Xiaomei suddenly lunged at Zhou Yuan, pounding her fists on his chest, tears streaming down her face.

“Yes, you’re right, he’s dead. This body of mine is just the shell of your Brother Zhou, but his soul is gone.” Unable to explain to Ye Xiaomei, Zhou Yuan could only mention the soul.

Ye Xiaomei stopped hitting him and looked at Zhou Yuan, "Then who are you?"

"I am another soul, occupying your Brother Zhou's body. Your Brother Zhou asked me to take good care of you, so I came to find you."

"Take care of me? How?" Zhou Yuan noticed a hint of hatred in Ye Xiaomei's eyes. After a moment's thought, Zhou Yuan said, "Protect your safety. You know, on the battlefield, anything can happen at any time."

"If that's the case, I'd rather be killed by a bomb. I don't need your care!" Ye Xiaomei's teeth chattered. Reincarnation? Nobody believed that. Suddenly, Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Brother Zhou, suffering from amnesia due to the aftereffects of a concussion, had now developed a split personality?

Thinking about it, Ye Xiaomei's eyes softened, and she said gently, "Big brother, I understand. Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."

After saying that, Ye Xiaomei opened the tent, went inside, and then came out again. Xiaomei had already changed her clothes.

"Brother, let's find a place to talk."

Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on, but unfortunately his mind-reading ability was ineffective against these humans. He had no idea why Xiao Mei had suddenly changed her attitude.

Zhou Yuan shook his head at Xiao Mei, "Ye Xiao Mei, I'm really not your Brother Zhou. I have things to do."

"Big brother, I know, it's okay."

Zhou Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Ye Xiaomei, you don't think I have mental problems, do you?"

"No, brother, didn't you call me by my name?"

Zhou Yuan thought to himself that Ye Xiaomei was really annoying. "Ye Xiaomei, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm leaving."

"Big brother, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll ensure your safety." Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered something, "You saw that hover bomb last night, right?"

Ye Xiaomei was terrified. "Big brother, you..."

“It wasn’t me, it was your Brother Zhou who did it. He was protecting you.” Zhou Yuan was unwilling to lie. “Your Brother Zhou passed away around 1 a.m.

Zhou Yuan continued, "Do you know Chu Xiaolu and Pan Na? They also like your Brother Zhou. They're currently in the Western Kingdom. If you'd like to see them, I can take you there right now. Or, I can bring them here now?"

Ye Xiaomei looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, because Zhou Yuan's words seemed to be a sign of severe schizophrenia.

"You don't believe me?" Zhou Yuan guessed it from Ye Xiaomei's expression.

Just then, a woman's voice came from inside the tent, "Xiaomei, who are you talking to?" Then the tent opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared.

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhou Yuan and asked, "Xiao Mei, who is he?"

"Hello, ma'am, I'm Zhou Yuan, Xiao Mei's friend. Sorry to wake you up."

"Zhou Yuan?"

The middle-aged woman walked up to Xiaomei. "Xiaomei, congratulations! You've finally found your Brother Zhou. Oh, Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged woman saw tears in Xiaomei's eyes and quickly wiped them away for her. Then, her face filled with anger, she said, "Zhou Yuan, you heartless bastard! Xiaomei suffered so much to find you, and this is how you treat her?"

Zhou Yuan scratched his head, wondering why this older woman was angry with him, but he still understood what she meant.

Zhou Yuan smiled. "Big sister, you must have misunderstood. Although I am Zhou Yuan, but..." Zhou Yuan thought for a moment. He realized there was no need to explain. No matter how he explained, the two of them wouldn't understand or believe him.

It's estimated that the eldest sister's loud shouts woke everyone in the tent. Five or six women came out of the tent, and Zhou Yuan saw that more and more people were coming. He thought there was no need to get entangled any longer.

"Ye Xiaomei, I'm sorry, I have to go."

Zhou Yuan walked to an open space, waved to Ye Xiaomei, and then stopped. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and Zhou Yuan disappeared.

Ye Xiaomei, her eldest sister, and the six women were shocked. They looked at each other, each seeing the astonished expression on the other's face.

The older sister looked at Xiaomei, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaomei, don't be sad, let's go back."

Xiao Mei leaned on her older sister's shoulder and burst into tears.
